Question

How many rectangles of dimensions 5 cm x 4 cm can fit in a square whose side is 10 cm long?​

Answer 1

5 rectangle can fit in the square

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN

Dimension of rectangle = 5 cm × 4 cm

Side of square = 10 cm

___________________________

TO FIND

How many rectangle can fit in the square

___________________________

We know that,

Area Of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Here,

Length = 5 cm

Breadth = 4 cm

We know that,

Area Of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Area Of Rectangle = 5 × 4

Area Of Rectangle = 20

Area Of Rectangle = 20 cm²

___________________________

We know that,

Area Of Square = Side²

Area Of Square = 10²

Area Of Square = 100

Area Of Square = 100 cm²

___________________________

Number can fit

Number = Area Of Square / Area Of Rectangle

Number = 100 / 20

Number = 5

5 rectangle can fit in the square

Answer 2

Given :-

• Dimensions of the rectangle = 5 cm × 4 cm

• Length of the side of the square = 10 cm

To Find :-

• How many rectangles can fit in the square.

Solution :-

Area of rectangle :-

➝  length × breadth

➝  5 × 4

➝  20 cm²

Area of square :-

➙  side²

➙  10²

➙  10 × 10

➙  100 cm²

Number of rectangles can be fit in a square :-

➝  Area of square/Area of rectangle

➝  100/20

➝  5 rectangles.

∴  5 rectangles can be fit in one square.
